The lead4ward Instructional Strategies Playlists are designed to provide teachers with detailed descriptions of specific, instructional strategies, many of which are modeled and experienced in lead4ward professional development sessions. This resource is intended to support educators in using an intentional planning process that includes delivering instruction that is aligned to the TEKS, promotes student engagement, and to teach for access (get started), rigor (think more about it), and transfer (apply what you know).
Teachers use instructional strategies to:
• engage learners
• provide practice without penalty
• encourage interaction among students
• see and hear students’ thinking
